Different people feel different emotions when they are diagnosed
with cancer. Both today and a century ago, fear and hope, shame and
disgust, sadness and joy are and were the emotions experienced by
many cancer patients and their loved ones. But these emotions do
not just have significance for the people who feel them. They have
also exerted a surprisingly profound influence on how hospitals and
laboratories dealt with cancer, how early detection campaigns
portrayed it, and how doctors talked about it with their patients.
Bettina Hitzer details the history of cancer and emotions in
twentieth-century Germany and thus follows the cancer-associated
transformations of emotional regimes, emotional politics, and
emotional experiences through five different political systems. In
doing so, the study underscores that political caesuras resonate in
the immediate corporeality of the history of emotions.
